  1. Office of Federal Coordinator for MeteorologyJoint Action Group for Tropical Cyclone ResearchInteragency Strategic Research Plan for Tropical Cyclones:The Way Ahead

  2. Outline of Presentation Strategic Plan Framework / Systems Engineering Approach Ms. Robbie Hood, NASA MSFC The Operational Hurricane Modeling Perspective on the Role of ResearchDr. Naomi Surgi, NCEP/EMC Recommended Research Priorities Dr. Frank Marks, AOML/HRD

  3. History of JAG / TCR • Interagency Tropical Cyclone Research Plan recommended at 58th IHC in 2004 • OFCM formed the Joint Action Group for Tropical Cyclone Research (JAG / TCR) in early 2005 • First JAG / TCR meeting in February 2005 • Representatives from NSF, NOAA, NASA, Navy, Air Force • Frank Marks and Robbie Hood, Co-chairs • Meeting overview presented at 59th IHC in 2005 • First draft of strategic plan compiled by JAG / TCR co-chairs and OFCM personnel • Draft forwarded to full JAG / TCR for comment a few weeks ago • Full JAG / TCR will seek to finalize strategic plan in coming months

  9. Framework of Strategic Plan • Build upon previously vetted strategies • Acknowledge diverse mission of partners contributing to Tropical Cyclone Community of Practice (TC CoP) • Adopt a systems approach • Create awareness of stakeholder needs across entire CoP • Facilitate communication by developing common vocabulary • Design avenues to match research capabilities to stakeholder needs • Articulate operational performance metrics and research to operation evaluation process • Maintain traceability of successful interagency research to operations transitions

  10. Inputs for Reports • Joint Agency Group for Tropical Cyclone Research (JAG/TCR) will seek to finalize Interagency Strategic Research Plan during next few months • Comments and input are welcome • Send comments and input to: Frank.Marks@noaa.govMark.Welshinger@noaa.gov Robbie.Hood@nasa.govRobert.Dumont@noaa.gov

  11. Issues to Consider • Communicating operational requirements to basic research community • Communicating performance metrics as well as verification and validation procedures • Building stronger bridges between basic and applied research communities • Providing traceability of basic research results through the research to operations pipeline • Opening discussions to long-term planning
